layer made of dense, irregular connective tissue that house blood vessels, hair follicles, sweat glands, and other structures
33
hypodermis or subcutaneous layer
layer below the dermis that is composed of mainly loose connective and fatty tissues
34
thin skin
4 layers of cells
from deep to superficial: stratum basale, stratum spinosum, stratum granulosum, stratum corneum
35

found only on palms and soles of the feet; has 5th layer called the stratum lucidum between the stratum corneum and stratum granulosum
36
stratum basale

37
keratin

38

39
papillary layer
made of loose, areolar connective tissue
40
reticular layer
composed of dense, irregular tissue; well vascularized and has a rich sensory and sympathetic nerve supply
41
pacinian corpuscle
specialized sensory nerve structure that responds to vibration
42
rickets
painful condition in children where bones are misshapen due to a lack of calcium, causing bow-leggedness
43
osteomalacia
softening of adult bones due to vitamin D deficiency
44
eccrine sweat gland
type of gland that produces hypotonic sweat for thermoregulation
45

68
second-degree burn
affects both the epidermis and portion of dermis; result in swelling and painful blistering; heal within several weeks
69
third-degree burn
fully extends into epidermis and dermis; destroys the tissue and affecting nerve endings and sensory function; appear white, red or black; require medical attention
70
fourth-degree burn
affects underlying muscle and bone
71
bedsores or decubitus ulcers
caused by constant, long-term, unrelieved pressure on certain body parts that are bony, reducing blood flow and leading to necrosis
